Рецепт Chicken Fruit Salad

Blueberries rank only second to strawberries in popularity

of berries in America. Blueberries are not only popular, but also repeatedly

ranked in the America diet as having one of the highest antioxidant capacities

among all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings. Raw blueberries provide you

with the best nutritional benefits.

Michigan, Maine, New Jersey, Oregon, and North Carolina are

states most heavily involved in blueberry farming. The state of Maine is

actually the largest lowbush blueberry producer in the world.

Cultivation of blueberries was widespread among the Native

American tribes throughout North America. European colonists learned about

blueberries thanks to these Native American traditions and brought blueberry

species back to Europe. Commercial cultivation of blueberries in Europe has

been a relatively recent phenomenon limited to the 20th and 21st centuries.

Thanks to increasing cultivation in the Southern Hemisphere, including South

American countries such as Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay as well South Africa,

New Zealand and Australia fresh blueberries are now enjoyed throughout the year

on many of the world's continents.

In 1997, the average American adult consumed about 13 ounces

of blueberries per year. In 2007, that amount nearly doubled and reached an

average level of 22 ounces. This increasing consumption of blueberries within

America has led to cultivation of blueberries on almost 100,000 acres of land

in America and has moved blueberries to second place as the most commonly eaten

berry in the America, second only to strawberry.

The flavor of this chicken salad is splendid. Serve on a bed

of lettuce or your favorite bread.
